We’ve heard for a while now that British children consistently outshine their American counterparts — they get higher test scores, show better literacy rates, all that jazz. We’re afraid to report that American children have now fallen even further behind in a variety of other areas, including macking dudes up, backing coupes up and chucking the deuce up.

It’s everybody’s favorite kind of time-waster — one involving outrageously cute baby animals! Zoo Borns brings you the most adorable creatures born in zoos and aquariums around the world. Maybe the cuteness will distract from the grey weather and all the work you should be doing.

Originally, I thought this was an outer-space themed party. It is not. Twist! SPACE stands for Space in Prison for the Arts and Creative Expression and Brown students involved in the organization help facilitate arts workshops in R.I. state prisons. So, while there will be no aliens or awkward planet-themed pick-up lines, there will be some very cool pieces of art. And free snacks. And we love free snacks.

BABIES

7:00 & 8:45

Avon Cinema

Yes, finals period is a stressful time, and for some of you, our recent post on adorable baby animals just might not have been enough to help take your mind off all that work. Fortunately, tonight marks the opening of “Babies,” a movie which seems to have been entirely based on the thought, “Hey babies are cute, I bet some people might pay to look at them for two hours…” As far as I can tell, there is nothing going on in this movie besides four babies being really cute, but that seems kind of perfect for this week. It’ll take you back to a simpler time in your life.

Wind Symphony Concert

8:00 – 10:00 P.M.

Salomon 101

Trust me on this one, the kids in the wind symphony know how to put on a good show. There probably won’t be any Lady Gaga medleys, but surely you can survive without them for one night.
